Hamburger SV vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips (14 February)

Above all seeking to maintain this season, Hamburg is in good time to try to fulfill its objective. Indeed, the locals occupy a very suitable 11th place in the standings of this Bundesliga but they will not have the opportunity to relax too much in the second part of the season because they only have a 3 unit margin on the first relegation with a match in hand. Undefeated since January 10, the promoted team first had three draws in a row against Gladbach 0-0, Sankt Pauli 0-0 and Bayern 2-2. Finally, last weekend, HSV sought an important success on the ground of the red lantern, Heidenheim 0-2. For its part, Union Berlin is, with its 25 points on the clock, a little more comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 9th position in this Bundesliga.

The capital club therefore has a 6-unit lead over the first relegated team and can therefore hope to secure its status a little more quickly. That said, we won't have to wander too much along the way for this team which hasn't won since the winter break. Dominated recently by Dortmund 0-3 and by Hoffenheim 3-1, the Iron Men did not achieve better than a parity score last week against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1. 

In Hamburg, striker Poulsen (1 goal, ex-Leipzig) could make his return this week. However, this will not be the case for defender Rossing-Lelesiit and striker Dompé (2 goals) who joined the infirmary last week. The less important attacker Baldé must also forfeit but the defender Capaldo will be eligible again after being suspended last week. Decisive a few minutes after coming into play, French striker Rayan Philippe scored his 5th goal of the season last week and he is now ahead of midfielder Lokonga (4 goals) in the ranking of scorers for this team. Danish midfielder Skov, replacement defender Rothe and the potential holder Juranovic will once again have to pass their turn for this meeting. Executive defender Diogo Leite is also in the hands of the Berlin medical staff at the moment.

Conversely, the striker Ansah (5 goals) is well suited in the same way as the Scotsman Burke (4 goals), the Serbia Ilic (7 assists) and the prolific central defender Doekhi (4 goals). Against Frankfurt, it was another defender, Querfeld, who scored the only goal for his team last weekend. The probable line-ups for Hamburg - Union Berlin: Hamburg: Fernandes - Pherai, Vuskovic, Elfadi - Jatta, Lokonga, Remberg, Muheim, Mikelbrencis - Königsdörffer, Fabio Vieira. Union Berlin: Ronnow - Doekhi, Querfeld, Leite - Haberer, Khedira, Kemlein, Juranovic - Ilic, Jeong, Ansah.
